Snap [1]!

I guess I'll still have to stop the internal forwarding at comcast 
because it doesn't modify the headers then.  Is anyone aware of the 
issues I'm describing with their ISP and can suggest a workaround?

Here's some headers with my account names obfuscated:

Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1])
        by linux with esmtp (Exim 3.36 #1 (Debian))
        id 1AqhCE-0000Tv-00
        for <[MY-ACCOUNT]@localhost>; Tue, 10 Feb 2004 15:21:38 -0800

        by localhost with POP3 (fetchmail-6.2.4 polling mail.comcast.net account [MY-PRIMARY-COMCAST-ACCOUNT])
        for [MY-ACCOUNT]@localhost (single-drop); Tue, 10 Feb 2004 15:21:38 -0800 (PST)

[etc]

What you don't see in there is a header describing the transfer from 
40208.nospam to [MY-PRIMARY-COMCAST-ACCOUNT].

[1] "Snap" is my new favorite catchphrase.  I think it's related 
to hearing my math prof use the phrase "crisp" to describe a good 
solution.
